Show #69: Encouraging employee voice at Volkswagen Group and FS

Special guests: Fiona Roberts, HR Director, Volkswagen Group UK and Julie Stayte, HR Director, Volkswagen Financial Services UK.

One in five new cars sold in the UK come from Volkswagen Group UK, which manages five brands: Volkswagen, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.  Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) provides finance and insurance services to customers across the entire Volkswagen Group in the United Kingdom.  Although both companies have distinctive cultures they share a commitment to employee engagement recognised by their Great Places to Work accreditations and have each adapted their German parent companies’ approach to employee consultation and made it relevant to the UK workplace.

Join Julie and Fiona as they talk about the exciting ways they are giving employees across the two businesses a genuine voice with their approach to consultation and collaboration called co-determination.

Host: Jo Moffatt
